Many parents with young children may find that their children suddenly burst into tears when they go to bed in the evening. They are also very strange. For some reason, their children keep crying. When feeding their children, they do not cry because they are hungry. For some reason, this condition in children is called night terrors. Next, the editor will introduce the consequences and causes of night terrors in children.
What are the hazards of pediatric night terrors
1. The harm to children's physical development
The neural and brain development during childhood is not yet fully developed. The inhibitory part of the central nervous system, especially the immature development of the cerebral cortex that controls sleep wakefulness, can have a certain impact on a child's sleep, and poor rest can affect the hormone levels in the child's body, affecting their future physical and intellectual development.
How is pediatric night startle caused
1. The body lacks necessary elements
Symptoms such as night startle and sweating caused by calcium deficiency in the body should be promptly checked for trace element determination at the hospital. If there is a calcium deficiency, appropriate calcium supplements should be selected in a timely manner. Outdoor activities such as sunbathing should be frequent, and dietary diversity should be emphasized, such as meat, eggs, and milk, to avoid picky eating habits. Pay attention to calcium supplementation in daily diet and eat more foods high in calcium. Calcium rich foods such as milk, shrimp skin, soy products, seafood, and fish meal, as well as dairy products, beans, etc., have lower calcium content in livestock, poultry, meat, and fruits. Avoid greasy, spicy, and stimulating foods
2. Children are stimulated
It is advisable to communicate more with children in daily life, understand whether they are stimulated, relieve their emotions, and avoid excessive play during the day. If your child often experiences night terrors and is worried about whether they have epilepsy, you may take them to the hospital for relevant examinations, and the doctor will give you a satisfactory explanation. Generally speaking, as long as night terrors do not occur frequently and there is no need to go to the hospital for examination, they will gradually disappear as the child ages.
So when parents discover that their children have night terrors, we don't need to panic too much. We should handle it properly, because adults sometimes have nightmares and suddenly wake up from their sleep. Children who are scared during the day may also dream at night. Therefore, we should communicate in a timely manner, or children's diet can also cause it. Therefore, we need to balance children's diet and pay attention to the balance of their various nutrients.
